There are two types of licenses:
Design Subscription
What is it?
A 12-month subscription that provides a more affordable entry point compared to a Perpetual License. Subscription is only offered as a Software Key enabled solution.
Available Editions:
Design Flex Foundation
Design Flex
Key Features:
- One user sign-in per purchased Design edition
- All-inclusive for the full term:
- Software updates
- Panoramic renderings
- Access to customer support
IMPORTANT: If you choose not to renew, you will lose access to the design software after the 12-month term expires.
Note: Each subscription only allows one user to use the license at a time. So once the user license is logged in on one computer, the user must sign out to be able to sign in again on another device.
Design Perpetual License
Note: this type of license is no longer available but some users may still be on one.
What is it?
A one-time license purchase with an optional yearly Maintenance & Support fee.
Maintenance & Support Includes:
Software updates
Panoramic renderings
Access to customer support
Impact if Maintenance & Support is NOT renewed:
You cannot use versions released after your coverage expires.
Version upgrades are only available if Maintenance & Support is reinstated.
Features like panoramic rendering and customer support access will stop.
What continues to work?
The version of the design software you purchased will remain functional.
IMPORTANT: Reinstating Maintenance & Support is no longer possible; the only option will be to move to a subscription plan.
